Sorry guys, first post and wining for help already.
I just have upgraded the ROM of my Qtek S200 to the Smart1 clean wm6 ROM. During the flashing of my ROM the PDA gave me an error. I did nothing, let it do its thing. After half an hour I resetted my PDA, resulting in the boot screen and after that a white screen and a 'sound'. So far so 'good', but I can't hard reset my PDA because my Send button (green telephone button?) isn't working (second hand PDA and the previous owner wasn't very careful with it). Now my PDA is useless, it only gives me the 'sound' and then it's over. Is there any way to get my PDA working again? I don't care if I have to downgrade it back to a wm5 ROM.
Your help will be very appreciated, thanks in advance!

Hi,
Downgrade to WM5 and reflash it!
Yeah, next problem. I only have a wm5 ROM AKU 3.3 from Aserg, but I don't have a ROM prior to 2.2. Can I download such ROM somewhere now the ROMs are taken off the ftp server?
Thanks
EDIT: I found my answer here:

Hi guys.
I did it... i screwed up my QTek S100! I tried to upgrade it, maybe the wrong files, dunno... now it is *dead* ! I only get a dark screen with "SERIAL V1.00" or "USB V1.00" if docked (should be bootloader mode). Nothing else.
Would you please be so kind as to help me in recovering from the disaster ? I do not have any backup, nor ROMs. I own a 512 MMC.
I would need English Roms... pleeeese !!
Thanks a lot.

Do you still have the files you used to upgrade? What's the name of the file?
Also, leave the info on your previous ROM.
I had the same problem with my Qtek S100 when upgrading it with the new firmware. The upgrade process stopped/crashed the first time leaving my unit in the same state you're describing. But, what I did was simply to run the upgrade utility again and then it worked fine the second time.
I don't know where you're from but if you have a swedish unit like me you can get the latest upgrade utlity from this adress:
http://www.smartmobile.se/upgrade/upgrade.aspx
Here is my previous (and gone) configuration. It's hard to believe I can't re-flash it again. English ROM is my best wish...
I wish you could help me...
Oh! I have tried all "QTEK ROM WORKS" recent methods. I always get that Country Code Error and I do not saved the previous GetDeviceData output.

Looks like the same happened to me. Try to open battery cover (or remove battery for several second. Then put everything back and push Power button. Does it turns on (with hard reset)?
Nope buddy! The OS is gone! Whatever I try to do, it always starts in Bootloader mode (Serial V1.00/USB V1.00).
Try removing the battery for 30 minutes (or whatever time it takes for the backup battery to discharge). That should recover your previous configuration although I haven't tested it.
Thanks for your reply, macrinus, but, exactly, how do you believe the 'vanishing' OS is supposed to reapper ?
We must be talking about spiritism in here...

Backup ROM
Is there a way to make a backup of my rom?
I have the qtek s100 with english rom.
Purchased seperate.
rom 1.03.00 WWE
radio 1.05.00 (upgraded)
extrom 1.03.100 WWE
Had the same issue with my radio version upgrade.
Scared the hell out of me ...
Backlight did not lit up ...
And an error apeared on my pc ...
But I was able to upload it when I tried again and the sync program of ms was killed.
If anyone knows how to make a working back-up ...
I like to help.
Think it's interesting to see how everything works.
And ofcourse, if you worked it out already, let me know how ...
And what macrinus said wont work.
When you do a hard reset, you do exactly the same.
So I think it's all gone.
why not dump the os to sd card, ntrw to pc and then put the nb1 fille in the ftp........
Tell me how ...
Tell me how, and I will ...
Sounds like chinese to me buddy.
Just got this pocket pc for 3 days.
First time I use a ppc.
Is that with xbackup?
Then choose all data?
Or do you mean another way?
What is ntrw?
And how do I get it from the backup?
And also, how is he suposed to upload it to his ppc?
Am asking this all to get to know it for myself.
Need the basic information before I can actually do all this ...
ok, sorry, if you are new to this forum, maybe its time now to browse this forum using the "Search" . There are hundreds or maybe thousands really good topics / advices available in this forum, posted by experts.
I and hundreds others I think, have really learn a lot from this forum.
On this specific topic you can search for :
- dump rom
- bootloader / bootloading.
You can also go to this forums ftp : ftp://xda:[email protected]/
to download all the necessary files
pls be patient and enjoy the tour......
Guys i did a very stupid thing this evening. I flashed my Imate Jam using the MAupgrade_No ID and the Greek Qtek firmware.
The flashing was good but now my Jam cant go pass the first screen and continuously reboots. It says something about illegal rom used....and reboots
Any solution to bring back to the former situation?
Please respond...i am really desperate
OK i figured out how. On my panic i couldn't even think.
God Bless the "search" button!!
But how could i get past this problem with the greek version qtek rom? It is locked and although it lets me upgrade (using the No-ID) on the first reboot after flashing it rebbots all the time.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Yep proteus3000uk,
Get yourself a shipped rom from your own provider. Put your magician into bootloader (camera & power & softreset until it reads serial or usb, there will be no backlight) uncheck usb in the connection settings from activesync on your PC & connect usb. Now it will read usb. Start the shipped rom program.
Or download a dumped or Big Storage rom & follow sd-card
flash method including the copy of your id from (first 420 bytes or so from your own romdump).
Or send it back and pray/beg for warrenty.
First two options are preferred off course. I 'repaired' mine with the first option, while I only had a black screen. So no OS or whatever on the rom.
Goodluck, M
Well i think that the Greek Qtek ROM is the only ROM worldwide that is edited from its programmers to run a phone version check, even after it lets you install it on your phone.
If it finds a phone version other than Qtek (in my case Imate Jam) the phone cant get past the initial splash screen and keeps rebooting for ever!
Then put it into bootloader and flash it wit an i-mate rom. Dumped, shipped or BIG storage and get rid of this Qtek ... rom.
Have you tried anything else than this qtek rom and what were the results?

The original english tom (WWE) works just fine (as it should anyway). The thing is i was trying to install the qtek GREEK rom in order to have proper Greek on my phone.
Unfortunately the suckers have locked the greek qtek rom and they have compiled the actual lock into the rom itself.
Although the rom is installed just fine using the No_Id prog, at the first reboot the phone hungs and then reboots for ever!
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I belief you can actually revert your magician back to the WWE rom and now you want help for unlocking of the Greek qtek rom.
This doesn't sound VERY URGENT to me, cause you can use your device only not in proper Greek, OK?
Can't help you with the unlocking though, maybe Buzz, Anansky or one of the other bright developers can.
Regards, M

Hello everybody!!!
I need help with my Himalaya... Tried to upgrade it to WM5, successful for a while but after a soft reset, it wont boot up properly. It stays stuck on the Windows Mobile boot screen, with both the bluetooth and power/signal light turning on/off alternately. Hard resetting it does not help, the same symptoms are still happening. I had to reinstall the WM5 ROM several times but the same problem now occurs everytime I have to soft reset the unit. I had to downgrade to wm2003, ROM 1.72.00WWE, Radio v1.17.00, extROM v1.72.181.
Can anybody help me on this? Thanks!

After upgrade, ensure you clear registry and format the storage. You may try to redo this by following the instructions in the last part of the installation document, as pasted below:
Press ResetButton and hold down CameraButton + RecordButton.
Hold them pressed until the "Boot Options" menu appears on the screen.
Select the options as follows:
(for selecting use RecordButton, change values with CameraButton)
Enable KITL -> NO
Clean Registry Hive -> YES
Format Storage -> YES
When done, press DPad and wait until OS starts.

Also be aware that many backup software can corrupt an installation after recovery, even those that have a "Upgrade or Migration" feature. It is best to use PPCBckpContacts to restore your contacts and to use SMS BackupSoftware for your sms's, both can be found on this forum and both use standard databases instead of proprietary formats that could corrupt the WM5 databases.
on topic: i will have to bookmark this page in case i get the same problem when i upgrade

wow i remember this post i made month ago. since then my phone broke, was stuck with an acient nokia, no camera, not even a colour screen. luckily im back with a new windows mobile phone. anyway no one is gonna read this, but i thought i should take a trip down memory lane
Hi people! First I want to thank all of you that make a great job on helping and cooking all of these apS for our prophets.
I've looked in the others post for my problem and tried out all of methods explained but nothing helped me.
My problem consist on the boot of my S200. After i made an upgrade to WM6 it stays blocked on the first boot ( QTEK Image ) and stays there until battery goes down. I tried tu upgrade others ROM's by tho BOOTLOADER way but it doesnt work. So I'm completly bypassed by this problem.
If anyone have a solution please post it.
Regards
which roms? ipl spl versions,device model?
Qtek S200 (alias Orange SPV m600)
ipl 2.10.0001
spl 2.20.0001
I first upgrade to WM6 cooked by GULUM, i found it here.
When i wanted to upgrade another version but it doesnt function, until i found Crystal v4.
And now my machine wan't boot, it stays on Qtek screen.
I have the same problem...
Fict it, just installed an older ROM and my htc works again. Gonna try to install a newer ROM now.
TmKing, can you explain your method and the you ROM you used ?
Thank You

Hehe, yes, indeed, I wanted to do everything verry fast. I wasn't aware of the new method to upgrade my HTC.
If you follow the appropriate steps, you will not have this boot problem.
Hello,
before I get into my problem description: yes, I did read all (or most of) the upgrade and troubleshoot guides in this forum, but I still can't figure out what's going wrong when I try to flash a 6.1 ROM. So any help is appreciated.
Device: G3 S200
here is what I did:
hardSPL
flash the ROM with a 6.1 ROM found in this forum (I tried 4 or 5 different ones by now)
hard reset
the problem: the device is stuck in the tri-colored bootloader screen after the upgrade (I still have the USB connection)
I can go back to the old AKU2.2 image, but any upgrade to WM6.1 seems to fail.
A more bit of info: I did successfully upgrade my device to an AKU 3 image a year (?) ago (following the instructions from this forum). That worked like a charm.
My PC runs XP SP2 and ActiveSync 4.5.
Does anybody have any idea, what could be going on? I would hate to have to go back to an AKU 2.2 ROM :-(
Thanx a million!
Katrin
successful upgrade
Hello,
just wanted to report back that after some more trying, I finally managed to get a 6.1 image working. I used the "alternative lazy tool" mentioned in this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=353547 with a pdaviet rom.
Thank you to everybody on this forum for all the great work and for sharing it with the rest of us!
Thanx,
Katrin
- I am so glad that I can continue to use my S200 -
